thoward18 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Yes definitely. The more supporters the better. Especially Americans with potential to take advantage of the huge economy over there. Has any team really ever managed to make serious money in America? I know the likes of Liverpool, United etc make silly money from countries like Japan, Norway etc. All the usual names do well, but Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham in particular seem to have massive followings. Chelsea and Man U next. I don't think I've met a single Manchester City fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Are there any forums or anything like that over in the states for the American blues? If not the USA guys on here should get together and maybe start a little forum or fan club. Despite the distances being much greater, some of us actually get together in person.

Cornish Steve Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'm of the mindset that I give people/companies/teams/pretty much everything the benefit of the doubt until they give me reasons not to. Everton has had some good seasons since I've begun watching them, and everyone of them has begun with us not splurging the cash on players either late on during the windor or even on deadline day. Am I a little envious of rich teams having already made a couple of signings? No doubt about it. Am I patient enough to wait for OUR club to continue making the GREAT signings they have made over the last couple of seasons? Absolutely. What will be best of all is watching all the moneybags' waste their fortunes on super-sized egos only for Everton to finish above them in the league. Last season, we watched Spurs close to 100m and still finish below us. This season, it will be Liverpool and van Gaal's United that we'll beat. We will do so because a team is much more than a bunch of individuals. pete0, Toffee_in_LA and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Ahh yes, I didn't even consider the West Coast. Yes, it's even worse for you guys. The same for us here in Australia - a 7.45pm kick off can mean 3.45am our time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 We need an American eagle logo somewhere on this forum!I'm creating a petition to have a bald eagle put on the club's crest. With the recent influx of Americans, I feel it's very possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 So we're about to sign Lukaku for £24,000,000 along with David Henen if the rumours in the paper are accurate. Add to that the signings of Besic & Barry along with the contract extensions of Roberto Martinez, Seamus Coleman, Tony Hibbert and Ross Barkley. Who's tired of being POOR now? Take a bow Bill Kenwright, showing the absolute numpties who claim to support this club that they have absolutely no clue what they are talking about. thoward18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that Kenwright brokered the new Sky deal? With all the players sold over the last few years we have had this kitty held back for a long time and whilst he should be applauded for getting a good wedge for players like Fellaini, it's not like he has put his hand in his pocket.

Has he pocketed all the money, got us relegated and bought a few houses with the money from selling Goodison Park? No, he's kept the club at the right end of the Premier League and has us on the verge of a new, positive era. marcus jones and markjazzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh OK, thanks Bill for not pocketing all the transfer fees because that's not something that shouldnt be expected from a chairman! Plus that money he hasn't pocketed is mostly been paying the debt and interest on the debt that has steadily increased since he took over at the club. Plus I didn't realise Bill picked the team either. He has done very well to keep us in the top half of the table. In all seriousness, fair play to him for picking 2 excellent managers but don't confuse on field performance with off the field performance.

Sure we aren't winning the league but we're on cloud nine with Bill in charge, I'd rather have him over some Asian just using us as a tax fiddle.

MikeO Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 3 & 4 are a joke. You honestly don't believe either do you? 3) He's sanctioned the release of the finance from the club's bank account (which he holds ultimate responsibilty for); pretty sure that's what Zoo meant, I really don't believe he thinks BK wrote out a personal cheque for £28m. 4) We're obviously not debt free, but the level of it is under control and consequently he has kept us "away from trouble" unlike many other chairmen. Zoo got a bit carried away I think but I know where he's coming from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
